Meet the man who won a staggering €250k with €2 bet in Newbridge...

A local man who won €250,002 with a €2 accumulator bet on the Lotto was presented with his massive cheque this morning in Newbridge.

Incredibly lucky Derek Delaney also placed a €1 bet on the four other numbers in the same draw, which returned an added bonus of €7,501.

Derek said: “I am still in shock at winning such a life-changing sum of money."

The bumper cheque - rounded off to €257,500 - was presented to Derek this morning outside the BoyleSports store in Newbridge by store manager Danny Fox and BoyleSports Head of Communications, Leon Blanch.

Derek added: "I am so grateful to BoyleSports and want to thank them for everything.

"This is going to make a massive difference to my family’s life and we cannot wait to start enjoying it.”
